OMEN by HP 15 ce000, dc0000 PCs - Replace the memory module

Prepare for replacing a part of the computer by making sure your computer, components, and workspace are ready.

1. Turn off the computer, and then wait for components to cool.

2. Disconnect the power cord and any cables from the computer, and then unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, surge protector, extension cable, or power strip.

3. Transfer the computer to a clear, flat, stable work surface over a non-carpeted floor with a conductive foam pad to reduce the chance of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage. HP recommends using anti-static wrist straps.

4. Keep and parts or components in their protective packaging until you are ready to install them.

5. Make sure you have a Phillips or Flathead screwdriver, depending on your computer model.

Remove the memory module from inside the computer.

1. Remove the top cover.

   

2. Use a Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the four 5mm (0.19 in) screws that secure the battery in place.

   Warning:

   To avoid personal injury and damage to the computer, use extreme care not to puncture, twist, or crack the battery. An internal puncture or rupture to the battery can cause an electrical short, which might result in a thermal event.
